specifications from ꢀ°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over  
the –4ꢀ°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by  
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.  
The LTC3624I/LTC3624I-2 is guaranteed over the –4ꢀ°C to 125°C  
operating junction temperature range and the LTC3624H is guaranteed  
over the –4ꢀ°C to 15ꢀ°C operating junction temperature range. High  
junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operation lifetime is  
decreased for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that the  
maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is  
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board  
Note 4: The LTC3624 is tested in a proprietary test mode that servos FB to  
the output of the error amplifier.  
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to  
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum  
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when overtemperature  
protection is active Continuous operation above the specified maximum  
operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. The  
overtemperature protection level is not production tested but guaranteed  
by design.

operaTion  
The LTC3624/LTC3624-2 uses a constant-frequency, peak  
current mode architecture. It operates through a wide V

range and regulates with ultralow quiescent current. The  
operation frequency is set at either 1MHz or 2.25MHz and  
can be synchronized to an external oscillator 4ꢀ0 of the  
inherent frequency. To suit a variety of applications, the  
selectable MODE/SYNC pin allows the user to trade off  
output ripple for efficiency.  
operation, the peak inductor current is set to be at least  
8ꢀꢀmA, even if the output of the error amplifier demands  
less.Thus,whentheswitcherisonatrelativelylightoutput  
loads, FB voltage will rise and cause the ITH voltage to  
drop. Once the ITH voltage goes below ꢀ.2V, the switcher  
goes into its sleep mode with both power switches off.  
The switcher remains in this sleep state until the external  
load pulls the output voltage below its regulation point.  
During sleep mode, the part draws an ultralow 3.5µA of  
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to  
the FB pin. An error amplifier compares the divided output  
voltage with a reference voltage of ꢀ.6V and adjusts the  
peak inductor current accordingly. Overvoltage and un-  
dervoltage comparators will pull the PGOOD output low if  
the output voltage is not within 7.50 of the programmed  
value. The PGOOD output will go low 32 clock cycles after  
falling out of regulation and will go high immediately after  
achieving regulation.  
quiescent current from V .

To minimize V  
ripple, pulse-skipping mode can be se-  
OUT  
lected by grounding the MODE/SYNC pin. In the LTC3624/  
LTC3624-2,pulse-skippingmodeisimplementedsimilarly  
to Burst Mode operation with the peak inductor current  
set to be at least 132mA. This results in lower ripple than  
in Burst Mode operation with the trade-off being slightly  
lower efficiency.  
Main Control Loop  
Duringnormaloperation,thetoppowerswitch(P-channel  
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle.  
The inductor current is allowed to ramp up to a peak level.  
Once that level is reached, the top power switch is turned  
off and the bottom switch (N-channel MOSFET) is turned  
on until the next clock cycle. The peak current level is con-  
trolledbytheinternallycompensatedITHvoltage,whichis  
the output of the error amplifier. This amplifier compares  
the FB voltage to the ꢀ.6V internal reference. When the  
load current increases, the FB voltage decreases slightly  
below the reference, which causes the error amplifier to  
increase the ITH voltage until the average inductor current  
matches the new load current.  
Forced Continuous Mode Operation  
Aside from the two discontinuous-conduction modes, the  
LTC3624/LTC3624-2 also has the ability to operate in the  
forced continuous mode by setting the MODE/SYNC volt-  
age between 1V and V  
– 1.2V. In forced continuous  
INTVCC  
mode, the switcher will switch cycle by cycle regardless  
of what the output load current is. If forced continuous  
mode is selected, the minimum peak current is set to  
be –266mA in order to ensure that the part can operate  
continuously at zero output load.  
High Duty Cycle/Dropout Operation  
When the input supply voltage decreases towards the  
output voltage, the duty cycle increases and slope com-  
pensation is required to maintain the fixed switching  
frequency. The LTC3624/LTC3624-2 has internal circuitry

As the duty cycle approaches 1ꢀꢀ0, the LTC3624/

This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for

Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors  
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple  
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal  
for switching regulator applications. However, care must  
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and  
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input  
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long  
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the  
V input. Atbest, thisringingcancoupletotheoutputand

usually about three times the linear drop of the first cycle.  
Thus, a good place to start with the output capacitor value  
is approximately:  
Lower ripple current reduces power losses in the inductor,  
ESR losses in the output capacitors and output voltage  
ripple. Highest efficiency operation is obtained at low  
frequency with small ripple current. However, achieving  
this requires a large inductor. There is a trade-off between  
component size, efficiency and operating frequency.

More capacitance may be required depending on the duty  
cycle and load-step requirements. In most applications,  
the input capacitor is merely required to supply high  
frequency bypassing, since the impedance to the supply  
is very low. A 1ꢀμF ceramic capacitor is usually enough  
for these conditions. Place this input capacitor as close

Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must  
be selected. Actual core loss is independent of core size  
for a fixed inductor value, but is very dependent on the  
inductance selected. As the inductance or frequency in-  
creases, core losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased  
inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore  
copper losses will increase.  
When the LTC3624/LTC3624-2’s output voltage is within  
the 7.50 window of the regulation point, the output  
voltage is good and the PGOOD pin is pulled high with  
an external resistor. Otherwise, an internal open-drain  
pull-down device (28ꢀΩ) will pull the PGOOD pin low. To  
prevent unwanted PGOOD glitches during transients or  
dynamicV changes,theLTC3624/LTC3624-2’sPGOOD  
Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are pre-  
ferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can  
concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation.  
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that  
inductancecollapsesabruptlywhenthepeakdesigncurrent  
is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor  
ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do  
not allow the core to saturate!

switching cycles.  
Frequency Sync Capability  
The LTC3624/LTC3624-2 has the capability to sync to a  
4ꢀ0 range of the internal programmed frequency. It  
takes 2 to 3 cycles of external clock to engage the sync  
mode, and roughly 2µs of no clocks for the part to real-  
ize that the sync signal is gone. Once engaged in sync,  
the LTC3624/LTC3624-2 immediately runs at the external  
clock frequency.  
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/  
currentandprice/currentrelationshipofaninductor.Toroid  
or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are  
small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost  
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar  
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use  
mainly depends on the price versus size requirements  
and any radiated field/EMI requirements. New designs for  
surface mount inductors are available from Toko, Vishay,  
Coilcraft, NEC/Tokin, Cooper, TDK and Würth Electronik.

Efficiency Considerations  
thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher  
The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to  
the output power divided by the input power times 1ꢀꢀ0.  
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine  
what is limiting the efficiency and which change would  
produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can  
be expressed as:  
supply voltages and higher frequencies.  
3. Other “hidden” losses such as transition loss and cop-  
per trace and internal load resistances can account for  
additional efficiency degradations in the overall power  
system. It is very important to include these “system”  
level losses in the design of a system. Transition loss  
arises from the brief amount of time the top power  
MOSFET spends in the saturated region during switch  
node transitions. The LTC3624/LTC3624-2 internal  
power devices switch quickly enough that these losses  
are not significant compared to other sources. These  
losses plus other losses, including diode conduction  
losses during dead-time and inductor core losses,  
generally account for less than 20 total additional loss.  
0 Efficiency = 1ꢀꢀ0 – (L1 + L2 + L3 +…)  
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percent-  
age of input power. Although all dissipative elements in  
the circuit produce losses, three main sources usually  
account for most of the losses in LTC3624/LTC3624-2

circuits: 1) I R losses, 2) switching and biasing losses,  
3) other losses.

1. I R losses are calculated from the DC resistances of  
the internal switches, R , and external inductor, R .  
Thermal Conditions

In continuous mode, the average output current flows  
through inductor L but is “chopped” between the  
internal top and bottom power MOSFETs. Thus, the  
series resistance looking into the SW pin is a function  
Inamajorityofapplications,theLTC3624/LTC3624-2does  
not dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency and  
low thermal resistance of its exposed pad DFN package.

the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction  
temperatureofthepart.Ifthejunctiontemperaturereaches  
approximately 16ꢀ°C, both power switches will be turned  
off until the temperature drops about 15°C cooler.  
Remembering that the above junction temperature is  
obtained from an R  
at 25°C, we might recalculate  
DS(ON)  
the junction temperature based on a higher R  
since

it increases with temperature. Redoing the calculation  
assuming that R increased 50 at 49°C yields a new

To avoid the LTC3624/LTC3624-2 from exceeding the  
maximum junction temperature, the user will need to do  
some thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis  
is to determine whether the power dissipated exceeds the  
maximum junction temperature of the part. The tempera-  
ture rise is given by:  
junction temperature of 5ꢀ°C. If the application calls for  
a higher ambient temperature and/or higher switching  
frequency, care should be takentoreducethe temperature  
rise of the part by using a heat sink or forced air flow.

When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3624/LTC3624-2 (refer to Figure 3). Check the  
following in your layout:
